A powder charge for a cannon? oOo: Terrible picture by the way - hides the size of the thing. If no one guesses correctly in a few hours, change it to something else.

Meaning it was sold by Germany to Austria, Romania, Bulgaria, Finland, Hungary, Italy, Croatia or Slovakia? Or is it not of German design at all? Looks like a Tigerish Panzer IV variant.

I remember Innoxx was bitching about how blatant it was in IRC awhile ago. I couldn't really tell it was a different tank though. Pretty sure they used a T34.
